We All Scream…When the Ice Cream Truck Breaks Down

Preventative maintenance is one of the most crucial aspects of owning and operating a profitable food truck or ice cream truck. Especially during the hot summer months, it’s crucial to keep your truck in its absolute prime. With the wear and tear of excessive heat and maximum usage, it’s important to upkeep your vehicle with regular preventative maintenance. This could mean the difference between a $500 fix and a $5,000 component restoration.

However, no matter how well you maintain your food truck, you should always keep a healthy financial emergency fund and estimate higher costs to be sure you won’t be taken out of the game and lose profit if a problem does occur. Ice cream trucks demand even higher refrigeration upkeep since the temperature is critical in keeping the consistency and quality of the product at its absolute best.

Preventative maintenance is great for a food truck, but remember that its owner needs proper upkeep as well! Operating a truck requires long hours on your feet in hot weather so its important to take care of yourself just as well as you take of your truck. Remember to also check local guidelines and rules about limiting hours of operation, how often you can work a particular street or area, and how many stops you’re allowed to make.
